Naruto: I Roamed the Ninja World as a Woman

Chapter 190 Kisame Hoshigaki's Daily Life at Sea: Ruins of the Land of Whirlpools (4K)

Yuan Shi was the oldest elder in the Hidden Mist Sect.

He has held power since the time of the first Mizukage.

He is a veteran of three reigns in Kirigakure, and may even outlive the current Mizukage.

His long reign can be summed up in one sentence: "Let the waves surge, I remain unmoved," making him a veritable Sima Yi of the ninja world!

Although Yuan Shi himself was not very strong, his methods inevitably showed some of the bad habits of politicians.

But he has one advantage: he understands very well where the hope of Kirigakure lies.

In the original Naruto manga.

It was also through the secret efforts of Master Yuan that he made a great contribution to Mei Terumi, Ao, and others in overthrowing Obito's rule.

At this point, Mei Terumi's so-called "study abroad in Amegakure" was, of course, just a pretext.

The real reason was that Master Yuan probably also sensed something amiss in the Third Mizukage's purge operation.

To be on the safe side.

Yuan Shi decided to send Terumi Mei away for the time being, while he himself would stay in the village and see what happened next.

If what Mei Terumi said is true, there is an unknown third-party force lurking in the village.

That at least ensures that not all eggs are in one basket, and that the enemy won't destroy them all at once.

If I'm overthinking things, then Master Yuan won't lose out.

At worst, we can consider it a disguised mission to the Land of Rain, sending Mei Terumi as an envoy, which is essentially laying the groundwork for friendly relations between the two countries in advance.

Ayane Amamiya deduced Yuan Shi's intentions.

I saw that Terumi Mei had a worried look on her face.

The girl raised an eyebrow, then recalled what she had said back in Konoha, and promised her a rosy picture: "Since you're coming to Amegakure to study abroad—if you perform well, I can keep my promise and teach you the Three Seals Water Dragon Bullet!"

The three seals represent her personal limit, but not the limit of ninjutsu.

Under extreme circumstances, Tobirama Senju could optimize the Water Dragon Bullet Technique to only two hand seals.

This shows that even with his Water Release techniques enhanced, he's still a tiny bit behind Tobirama, a master of Water Release.

"Is there really a Water Dragon Bullet technique with three seals?"

Even knowing her opponent was very strong, Mei Terumi still found it hard to believe: "I remember, the original version of this technique required 44..."

"Shall we get a print?"

"Hmph~"

Ayane Amamiya glanced at her arrogantly.

The girl feigned profundity and said, "Little Ming, you'll learn water escape techniques from me from now on!"

She wasn't intentionally showing off.

However, one could tell from the other person's expression that there was a hint of sadness.

Therefore, he deliberately spoke to Terumi Mei in this tone in an attempt to distract or comfort her grief.

After all, in her impression, Mei Terumi was also a very arrogant genius.

But Ayane Amamiya didn't know that.

After several battles, Mei Terumi was already convinced of her strength and considered herself a newcomer.

She wasn't angry when she heard such arrogant remarks.

She simply hugged her ample chest tightly and looked at Ayane Amamiya strangely, saying, "You're being so nice to me—you don't mean you have feelings for me, do you?"

Ayane Amamiya: "?"

Mei Terumi said cautiously, "I'm sorry—it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that I don't fully understand Lava Release and Boil Release myself—"

Ayane Amamiya leaned closer, meeting Mei Terumi's gaze with her clear eyes, and stared intently at her: "You think I'm after your bloodline limit?"

Mei Terumi blinked her big eyes: "What else?"

What else do I possess besides these two bloodline limits?

Surely it couldn't be because she's after her own beauty?

Ayane Amamiya shrank back and shrugged: "Then you can understand it that way."

She then changed the subject: "However, I don't have any plans to return to Amegakure at the moment."

"What are you going to do?"

Mei Terumi's heart skipped a beat, suddenly recalling the actions of Minato and Namikaze earlier, and she asked warily, "You're not carrying out some special mission either, are you?!"

It's no wonder Mei Terumi is sensitive.

The main problem is that the Hidden Mist Village is currently in a very vulnerable state and can't withstand any further disruptions.

"There was no special mission; it was simply my own initiative."

Ayane Amamiya shook her head and explained, "Now that we've finally made it to the sea, there's one place I still want to visit."

Before returning home, she planned to take a break from her busy schedule and visit the old site of the Land of Whirlpools.

Firstly, the opportunity to go to sea on one's own is rare.

If I don't go this time, I may not have many opportunities to go out again in the next few years.

Although she grew up in Amegakure and had no particular feelings about the Land of Whirlpools, her mother was, after all, a member of the Uzumaki clan, and after marrying into the Land of Rain, she never returned to her parents' home.

Go to the Land of Whirlpools and bring back a handful of soil from your hometown; it can also be used to commemorate your parents after the New Year.

Secondly, this trip might just lead to an encounter with Kushina Uzumaki, who is currently adrift.

Ayane Amamiya rubbed her hands together, secretly refining her kidnapping plan in her mind.

Back in Konoha, Kushina experienced a series of major changes, and the Land of Whirlpools from her childhood became her only remaining attachment, so she couldn't bring herself to speak up.

But things are different now.

Once the other party returns to the Land of Whirlpools and makes up for the regrets of the past, and has nowhere else to go, wouldn't the Land of Rain be the best choice for Kushina?

For a moment, Ayane Amamiya felt like she was becoming more and more like an evil villain.

Not only did she cruelly kill the main male protagonist of the story, Minato Namikaze, but she also kidnapped his beloved partner!

If I were a man—

Hohoho!

She let out a series of strange laughs that were completely out of character, causing Terumi Mei to glance at her frequently and try to laugh herself.

"What's so important about this place?" Mei Terumi asked.

"Hmm, more or less!"

Ayane Amamiya waved her hand, then suddenly remembered an important question and asked, "Can you drive a boat? It might be a bit far."

She was extremely domineering.

He declared boldly, "I'm planning to rob a boat from your village later, and we'll set off today!"

Now that she knew Madara Uchiha was most likely in Kirigakure, she decided not to stay there any longer.

As the saying goes, "Kings don't meet."

It's not about avoiding his sharp edge!

Mei Terumi felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

Such an outrageous and domineering act was actually said right in front of me, a Hidden Mist ninja—

Is it really okay?

Mei Terumi tried to clarify: "I'm a ninja! Not a sailor."

But then she whispered, "However, I do know a guy who's incredibly adept at swimming and knows a lot about sea navigation!"

Meeting Ayane Amamiya's gaze, she smiled and said, "Most importantly, I understand his personality. He's a very reliable person! He would never betray us!"

Ayane Amamiya nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, showing complete trust in her.

Sure, sure!

"We've already started using 'we' without you even realizing it, Xiao Ming, you've gotten into character really quickly!"

The war to annihilate the Land of Whirlpools, launched by the combined forces of the Hidden Mist Village and the Cloud Village, had not actually been going on for very long.

If you do the math, it's been less than ten years since then.

of course.

In the ninja world, a world constantly embroiled in war, ten years is enough for an entire generation to be replaced.

The young Kisame Hoshigaki stood at the bow of the ship, observing the wind direction.

His clothes were being blown about by the sea breeze, occasionally revealing his muscular physique underneath.

Hehe~!

A seabird flew overhead, stared at him for a long time, and only flew away after confirming that the strange creature was not a fish.

Except for the absence of Samehada, the greatsword.

The Kisame Hoshigaki of today and the Kisame of decades later in the story actually look very similar.

Small eyes, gray skin, and a set of sharp teeth —

It looks exactly like a "shark man".

Compared to the charming girls like Ayane Amamiya and Mei Terumi behind him, he seemed more like someone who had secretly eaten some strange Devil Fruit as a child.

Kisame Hoshigaki, while dutifully steering the ship, thought to himself, "It's just sailing, what kind of important mission is that? Or are those people accompanying Mei Terumi, the Chunin, someone of extraordinary status and strength?"

He is now a special Jonin of Kirigakure.

The specific operational structure was under the command of Suigetsu Hozuki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

However, his superior was extremely cunning and profit-driven, and in the original story, he even committed the treasonous act of secretly selling village information to other countries.

Before the Third Mizukage launched the purge.

Suigetsu Hozuki sensed something was amiss. He'd reportedly accepted a lucrative war mission on the black market and fled Kirigakure ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Kisame was without a leader for a time and was even unable to appear on the previous battlefield.

When there is nothing to do.

A few days ago, Kisame suddenly received another order from his master, who gave him a major mission!

After handing over the duties to Mei Terumi, I learned that the so-called important mission was actually to sail the ship.

Ayane Amamiya sat on the gunwale, looking somewhat wistful.

Unexpectedly, the sailor Mei Terumi mentioned for the long voyage was Kisame Hoshigaki!

But what they said is correct.

Even within the entire Hidden Mist Village, this guy is among the most adept at swimming, on par with the Hozuki clan members who can transform into water.

Moreover, Kisame is really reliable!

He can be said to be the most honest, polite, and dutiful ninja in the original work!

At the stern of the ship.

After a few days of rest, the three little ones have finally recovered from the harrowing experience of the previous days.

"Nagato, Konan! He's the weird old man I told you about the other day!"

Yahiko pointed excitedly at Kisame's back and said, "Don't you think he looks a lot like a shark?! If he could really transform into a great white shark and swim around in the sea, that would be so cool!"

Which boy didn't dream of transforming into a giant monster when he was a child?

"Yahiko! Don't gossip about others behind their backs, it's impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Konan rebuked him sternly, "Besides, Mr. Kisame is only a few years older than us. We should call him 'Mr.' or 'Big Brother'!"

Kisame Hoshigaki's ears twitched.

With his abilities, he could easily overhear the conversation of the people behind him without even trying to eavesdrop.

Although he didn't care at all about what Yahiko said.

But he still developed some affection for Xiao Nan.

This little girl looks like an honest child, just like me!

Upon hearing this, Yahiko immediately surrendered.

Since being taken in by Ayane Amamiya, they have escaped their previous life of homelessness and have a stable home.

This was originally a good thing.

However, as her relationship with Ayane Amamiya gradually became closer...

Originally gentle, cute, and obedient, Xiao Nan, for some reason, gradually developed an invisible aura of authority, like a boss.

This is truly—

He muttered to himself, but couldn't stay still, so he simply nudged his quiet good brother Nagato next to him.

Nagato was almost asleep.

He woke her up, and she asked in confusion, "What? Is something wrong?"

Yahiko grinned and said, "It's nothing. I just saw you were almost asleep, so I wanted to talk to you!"

Nagato remained expressionless.

The boy opened his palm, aimed it at Yahiko, and the gaze in his Rinnegan was extremely dangerous.

Shinra—

"No, no, no!"

Seeing this, Yahiko knelt down again and quickly begged for mercy: "I can swim, but I've never swum in the ocean before! If you push me in, I'll die!"

Since that day's battle, Nagato has awakened a mysterious ability called "Shinra Tensei," which allows him to easily push people away from a great distance!

Yahiko had witnessed Nagato's performance firsthand.

He figured that with his small frame, he could probably be easily pushed dozens of meters away without any problem.

Nagato didn't retract his hand, but simply looked at him and said calmly, "I'm hungry."

Yahiko sighed inwardly.

He felt that his elder brother's status and position were gradually becoming insecure.

He silently took a box of cookies out of his pocket and handed it over.

Nagato took it, ate a couple of bites, and then looked at him: "I'm thirsty again."

Yahiko roared, "Don't go too far!"

Nagato remained silent, only pointing her palm at him.

The orange-haired boy gritted his teeth and said, "Shinra Tensei is nothing; my Rasengan is just as effective!"

Blue chakra gathered in his palm, buzzing loudly.

This is already a very standard Rasengan.

Even yesterday, the panel's high acceptance standards were met, and Ayane Amamiya was given a teaching bonus of 500 achievement points in one go!

It looked like the two were about to clash.

Ayane Amamiya spoke up at the right moment: "Yahiko, go to the sea now and practice walking on water for me. At the same time, practice one hundred sets of Rasengan!"

'

Although she heard the noise, she didn't even bother to look, and directly ordered with her back turned, "It must be finished before sunset. If you miss one set, the training volume will double tomorrow!"

Yahiko's expression wilted.

One hundred sets of Rasengan.

Taking into account the rest and recovery time after practice, it was just right at the limit of his chakra.

But Ayane Amamiya added, "Oh right, Nagato too, but he has so much chakra, so he can practice three hundred sets of Wind Release ninjutsu!"

These two young lads were full of energy and caused quite a bit of trouble after arriving at sea.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Yahiko is always the one who starts trouble.

But it takes two to tango; Nagato's reserved and cunning personality is also a significant factor.

At this point, it's always right to give both sides equal blame!

Hey!

Upon hearing this, Yahiko's previously listless expression immediately brightened.

300 is greater than 100!

He put his arm around his shoulder, immediately grabbed his good friend Nagato, and enthusiastically took to the sea for training.

At the same time, she loudly replied, "Ayane-nee, don't worry, I will definitely supervise Nagato's training properly and make sure he doesn't slack off or skip any group!"

Mei Terumi, standing nearby, was dumbfounded: "This kid—"

How can someone be so happy after being punished?

What kind of innate, suffering-enduring holy body is this?

Ayane Amamiya had long since grown accustomed to Yahiko's carefree personality.

She said lazily, "Since I've got nothing better to do, why don't I teach you a ninjutsu technique?"

Actually, she wanted to try teaching Mei Terumi ninjutsu to see if it would trigger the achievement point return mechanism on the board.

Mei Terumi asked with some anticipation, "That Water Dragon Bullet Technique with three seals?!"

Ayane Amamiya snapped her fingers: "Hmm!"

She deliberately slowed down her movements, reminding him, "Watch carefully!"

Zi - Chen - Yin.

The girl deliberately slowed down her hand seal movements.

But even so—

Boom!

A water dragon, three meters thick and tens of meters long, leaped directly from the sea surface!

Immediately afterwards, the water dragon opened its giant jaws in the air, biting the enemy in the void, and then suddenly exploded with a deafening roar!

Under Ayane's control, this move is actually an advanced version of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique—Water Dragon Bite Explosion.

But where does Pomeranian know about officialdom?

She was stunned by the photo.

"Is this a water cannon?"

I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me.

Is this the power a water jet should have?

Ayane smiled slightly, nodded, and subtly shifted her attention to Kisame.

Such powerful ninjutsu—

Are you still not tempted by the prospect of a government position?

This voyage continued for five or six days.

On a sunny morning, Kisame walked by and reminded Ayane and the others, "Gentlemen, we're on Uzushima Island."
